Ingredients:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 1 teaspoon salt

• ½ teaspoon pepper

• ½ teaspoon onion powder

• 1 cup flour

• 2 eggs

• 1 cup seasoned breadcrumb

• 2 cups marinara sauce

• 8 slices fresh mozzarella cheese

• ½ cup grated parmesan cheese

• fresh basil, thinly sliced, to serve

• vegetable oil, for frying

Preparation:

1. Cut the chicken breasts in half widthwise to make 4 thin breasts.

2. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and onion powder.

3. Coat the chicken in flour, then egg, and then bread crumbs.

4. Pour oil in a cast-iron skillet to come ¼ inch (½ cm) up the side. Heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and fry on both sides until brown, about 4 minutes.

5. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

6. Preheat oven to 450°F.

7. Place the fried chicken breasts in a baking dish. If they don’t fit side by side, gently overlap them. Pour the marinara over the chicken.

8. Top with mozzarella slices and Parmesan.

9. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is browned and bubbling.

10. Serve with freshly chopped basil.

11. Enjoy!
